Saving the World: One Laundry Room At A Time

Thanks for checking in on Monday's Environmental Reform Tip! This is an easy one for everyone to do (its a favorite of mine too!)

When you're drying things in the laundry, throw a dry towel in with the clothes before starting the dryer up. Your things will dry so much faster! If you have a moisture sensor on your dryer, your stuff will be done sooner. If you're like me and therefore are a college student who lives in a dorm, you can check your stuff after like half an hour and it'll probably be done (depending on how large the load). Since most college dryers are programmed to run for an hour, you can throw another load of wet stuff in and use the remaining half an hour to dry that load. This will save money, time, and energy! Plus it will eliminate those pesky laundry room pile ups (since the washer takes half an hour and the dryer takes an hour...sigh, you can do the math as well, if not better, than I can)

Hope that helps! Have an awesome Monday!
